Bobbie Mabry Needs our help

Coffee House Comes to Aid of Ailing, Elderly Artist

Plans Silent Auction to Raise Funds, Save Life’s Work

 

January 4, 2012 Hampstead, NH – BeanTowne Coffee House will hold a silent auction of the work of Local Artist Bobbie Mabry, 82, of Raymond, NH, on Saturday, January 14th from 4-8pm. All proceeds will be used to defray her mounting medical costs and living expenses. At Bobbie’s insistence, 10% of the proceeds will be donated to “The Smile Train”, an organization that aids children with Clef Palletes.

 

Now battling Parkinson’s Disease, this former New Hampshire Art Association and Copley Society Member subsists on her dwindling savings, deliveries from Meals on Wheels, and the occasional good deed of a care worker. She now lives amongst her life’s work, a dust-covered collection of over 100 paintings and drawings created in different mediums; A collection that will surely be lost if her story continues on its current path.

 

Kate LeBlanc, a BeanTowne Coffee House employee, became aware of Bobbie’s situation and immediately asked to meet her. Seeing the conditions and situation in which this former accomplished artist was living, Kate asked what she could do to help get her the services she needed, and keep her in her own home. Together, they decided that the most viable option was to begin selling Bobbie’s collection. A decision that the artist is not only at peace with, but also extremely happy to have come to “I always wanted my work to be enjoyed, to be shared, and to bring a stranger to another place that once existed only in my mind”, she said. “After all these years, I know it’s time for them to see the light of day again. I hope the people who end up with them on their walls will enjoy looking at them as much as I did creating them.”

 

A small portion of her work now hangs for sale on BeanTowne’s wall, with one large piece having already sold for $600. That sale sparked an idea amongst the staff; “Why not have a silent auction and exhibit the rest of the collection?”

 

“This is truly a fulfillment of the highest aspiration of our business,” said Ed Goyette, owner. “We hope to raise enough money through the sale of Bobbie’s work to enable her to remain in her home and create a more comfortable life for her going forward. Any help toward that end will be greatly appreciated.”

 

The silent auction will feature free food and drink from BeanTowne and other local restaurants.

Should I buy a home now or wait? video

Should I buy a home now or wait?

Often times Jay and I get questions from prospective buyers about whether or not they should buy a home now or wait. It’s really not something we can answer specifically as every buyer has a set of unique circumstances. But generally if you have good credit, some savings a secure job then the answer is yes.

Don’t let all the negative news scare you off

Don’t let all the negative news scare you off. If you’re ready for home ownership then now is a great time…if not then wait a bit.

Interest rate are great…the best they’ve been in many years and inventory is plentiful.  In Hampstead NH for example you can get a Cape style home with three bedrooms for $184,900 or a waterfront on Big Island pond for under $300,000.

Plus a key thing to remember is that home ownership is a great long term investment, especially at these prices and it is still one of the quickest ways to  gain wealth.  So if you’re ready to take the plunge then now is the time to talk to a southern NH REALTOR about all your home ownership options.
